Frust

Today is a very frustrating day. I've wasted money, energy and time for nothing. All the hope just got vanished by arising circumstances.

Earlier this noon, I went to Times Square. The purpose of my visit is to collect a Gaming wheel from my trainer at Sony Style. The moment I saw it it was like a dream come true. I was completely overwhelmed because playing PC racing game(s) with a gaming wheel has been my dream since I got my first computer (which is a Pentium III) when I am still in standard 3 if I remember correctly. I collected it and went back home in a jolly mode by cab which makes me RM 13.00 poorer.

When I'm back, the frustration begins. I googled so hard for this model's drivers and tank god I found it. (Google is the God of internetz, srsly). So, I installed the driver and start configuring the wheel. Somehow, everything works perfectly, except for the wheel. It doesn't turn bit by bit. It turns full lock (turn completely to the left to turn left and vice versa). As I further configure the steering wheel, somehow Grid doesn't recognize the left and right directional keys anymore.



Now it sits lying next to my bed and I'm frustrated because when I run Grid, my car wont turn either left or right. Shit.

Next was my T-Rex rig. The T-Rex moniker was give by fellow LYN forumes because it is running on Pentium 4- a soon to be extinct processor just like Pentium III and Pentium II. It was my very first computer I bought and upgrade with my own money. Here's a picture of how it looks like.



Ever since I manage to reset the BIOS, I've been trying hard to install Windows XP in it. I've tried numerous downloaded XP and yet it still shows "BOOTMGR" missing (in English; cannot detect windows). So I was determined that I shall buy the pirated one since the copy booted successfully on my cousin's PC when he brought it to me for a reformat last Saturday.



I bought the ahem copy of XP which is identical to my cousins one (including the CD Key) for RM 12.00 and when I'm back home, the same shit happens when I pop the disc into the optical drive;

"BOOTMGR missing"

F**K it. I'm going to send it to Rawang tomorrow.

Memories

I stumbled upon some of my collegemate's blogs today. That discovery instantly refresh my college days memories. I still remember the shirt I wore on the first day of orientation is a dark blue shirt by Extreme.



My trusty fake iPod mp3 player that accompanied my first voyage to TARC



the first person who arrived at tutorial class is myself and my first class is Microeconomics by Miss Tan Fu-mei at PA102.

That time I am still 18 years old. Now, I'm already 20. A lot of things has changed from the day I stepped into the college compound till now. College really changed me- in terms of the way of think, the way of act and the way I dress.

Emily's blog clearly reflects her personality very well. The colours used always ignites a cheerful feeling to the readers. To Emily, I understand the pressure of you being the course rep. When I'm the CR of DBU9, I'm stressed up as well. But I never gave up on you guys and girls. Be strong and never give up on your fellow coursemates. You perform the responsibilities better than me. (Your current position is already better than me COURSE rep vs CLASS rep... XD)

Despite the tempting name, there were actually little feature about food in Winnie's blog. However, the magical part lies on the content itself. Most of the contents are sweet. Some might be a bitter pill to swallow and a few of those are sour. A chef whips up a good cuisine by combining these exquisite taste together through careful selection of finest ingredients and Winnie here has graduated not only with a diploma, but as a "chef" as well.

And finally, Danny seems to have "think-out-of-the-box" already and start asking "why-must-use" by crapping out loud. As usual, he is hot-hot chicken shit (hangat hangat tahi ayam). Only posting actively for a short while.

TO my fellow DBU9 friends, you'll be in my heart forever. I'm so sorry that I couldn't share my laughter with you all during the convocation day.

Rip-off

Has anyone been to KFC lately? For those who been there, you'll notice that KFC has a new addition in their menu lately- the KFC Shrimp Stix. What is it? Well, basically it is deep fried breaded wrapped prawn with flour. Sounds delicious? Now, before you rushed to the nearest KFC outlet, just sit back, relax , have a cup of tea and read the rest of my story.

This new product so far has drawn a lot of criticism from a lot of people and causing an uproar among the local Internet community. Google for KFC Shrimp Stix and you'll get what I mean. Here's some example.





For the actual size, maybe you can check out LYN for the illustration.

I'm one of the victim of this blasphemy too. I got ripped off by the illustration when I'm at KFC One Stop Midlands, Penang for lunch. The shrimp stix is not only small, but I can see NO prawns inside at all. All I can see is only flour and it tastes like flour too.

Even during press conference, the shrimp stix displayed is so huge. The length is like half of the plate!



This is why, KFC should just stay handling chickens and not venture into seafood. So, if you still want to indulge in a plate of fried chicken after reading this post, here's my little piece of advice to you; just order the normal snack/dinner plate. Shun away from the Shrimp Stix combo because two 5 centimeters long shrimp stix simply wont justify the premium you've forked out. Trust me.

Failures

The time is 8.30 pm. I should be studying Quantitative Studies 9 hours ago. However, I didn't. I choose to watch movies- Stephen Chow's Sixty Million Dollar Man, Inkheart and Discovery Channel Megafactories. I even had some fun shooting people with my AK47 in Call Of Duty 4.

God I hate numbers. I fukin hate it, especially those other than plus, minus, divide and multiply. I'm not good in Maths. I'll never be good with Maths, especially Add Maths. Those who used to be in the same class with me knew it. I failed every single one of it, including the one in SPM.

I've messed up. I've messed up everything ever since I got out from VI. I choose a course without looking at the prospectus, I've delayed my resits and I got my study loan retracted. In the end, everyone graduated including Jerry (Chong Kah Wai), and I'm stuck with some "EZ" student status with tons of papers to resit and worst still, I have absolutely no idea how the hell I'm going to score a PASS in 3 out of 5 papers. Ha, what a failure.

Perhaps I shall consider repeating the subject if I failed again this time. I ain't gonna let my time, money and effort dumped in for this diploma wasted. Even if I've lost interest in studying, I vow to myself to have at least a Diploma in my hands. Monday is coming soon and may god bless me.

V12Kompressor

If you're a follower of LowYat.net (LYN), especially the Kopitiam section, you'll know who V12Kompressor is. For those who don't know, its ok. Now you already know who is it. First of all the name. I think 99.99% of you already know that I'm a car fanatic. So, yes... V12Kompressor is car related. V12 is an engine usually mounted on supercars and Kompressor is actually German for "supercharger". I loved them both, especially when they are bolted together and powers up the Novitec Rosso 599. Youtube the car and listen to the whine of the supercharger. Its more orgasmic than all porns out there in the world wide web! Okay, enough with the car talk.

Eversince I've discovered internet, all my footprint is only on forums- being public or private. I leave literally no footprints at all in any of the social web thing such as friendster or facebook. I've forgotten how my old blog looks like. All I know is, I ended it with some emo post that is so emo that makes me looks like a faggot. A few years later and I suddenly decided to open a new blog (hopefully with less emo stories. lol).

Its all started with me registering my new BenQ monitor for warranty purpose. The moment I signed in my Yahoo mail, oh mai- 154 mails pending. And upon investigating, those are mails from mukabuku (Facebook).

"(Insert your name here) has added you on Facebook"

Oh. I'm surprised with the sudden flooding of invitation from my old friends. More than three years ago, when friendster is still the hype, I registered that account. Now, three years later when friendster got pawned by mukabuku, I got so much invitations that I could never imagined off. What I couldn't imagine is that those names I saw were the long lost names I've used to call during my primary school days and secondary school days.

For those who added me, thank you very much. As a reward, I hereby announce that I'll return to the blogging world and hope you'll enjoy this kompressor's whine.
